MunEDA WiCkeD™ Tool Suite
SPT Schematic Porting Tool
MunEDA WiCkeD SPT Schematic Porting Tool is an EDA tool solution for horizontal and vertical circuit migration & IP porting of custom IC circuits between different process technologies. SPT helps the analog circuit designer with migrating analog IP
- from older process nodes to newer technologies (IP reuse)
- from one foundry to another (second sourcing)
- from in-house process technologies to foundry technologies (going fabless)
Features of WiCkeD SPT Schematic Porting Tool:
- Converts devices on original PDK to corresponding devices in the new target PDK
- Automated schematic migration 10-100X faster than manual porting: within seconds instead of tedious manual work for weeks
- Easy setup by a convenient GUI interface for all operations instead of error-prone in-house scripting
- Flexible property mapping with configurable rules
- Handles terminal name changes, different, extra or deleted terminals
- Handles different positions, placement and orientation of schematic symbols
- Supports output schematic & output device stretching
- Includes user reference documentation for installation, configuration and usage
- Fully integrated into Cadence® Virtuoso® custom design platform
- Customer & silicon proven with many different foundry PDK

Customer References
MunEDA circuit migration tools are successfully proven in numerous industrial circuit design projects with global semiconductor companies since many years.
“MunEDA SPT Schematic Porting Tool is easy to use. We completed already 20 migration projects successfully. Design groups could safe effort of around 10 person months migrating a complex low power RF circuit with over 100 schematics.”
“WiCkeD-SPT really simplifies the migration configuration. With SPT GUI based tool now the porting process is also accessible to non CAD engineers. It is fast and easy and really user friendly.”
“We successfully ported and optimized a 3rd Order Multibi Sigma Delta ADC from 22nm to 55nm with MunEDA circuit migration and verification tools”
